John Silverster is one of the
pioneers in paragliding in Karakoram. Here
its splendid film full of humanism and pleasures.
It describes its discipline and its beautiful
way of his travelling by the sky. Jhan began
its career by alpinism. Silverter makes a
success of its dream, and comes to make us
dream. We retains our breaths in fulgurating
thermics. In Karakoram, the parapentist is
projected in the airs at the fulgurating speed
of 10 meters by seconds...

And this evocative video of the emotions
which can cause an ascent (by the sky) of
a summit like marvellous Rakaposhi (7788m)...

and remeber the web page about paragliding
devoted to John Silverster and to very regretted
Philippe Nodet.

Northern Kashmir is an isolated and contrasted area, deserted
and arctic, largely admired and always jealoused on. This site
is an invitation through time and one of the most beautiful mountain
areas, to dream, one might want to dream of the last unknown soil
of the world. If this could be of use to you for any details or
future expeditions to Kashmir, it would be my greates award and
please feel free to contact me on this subject.
